Q: I’m 25 years old living with my parents. After completing my studies I got a rishta from Canada. I talked to that guy for 8 months but it was merely a simple “get to know” talk. They visited us and everything went great. Later, his dad asked for my rishta officially and the wedding date was set. After two months we had to call it off because according to the guy, he was forced into it. I had to bear the consequences.
After a year, another rishta came from a guy in South africa. We connected immediately, he came and we got engaged. He went back and after two months we got to know his PR expired and to extend it, he did a paper marriage.
Also, according to the new rules I wont be able to go there or work. Once again we had to call it off. This time I cant take this burden, I want to die – I hate my life soo much. I dont have any strength in me. Please help.
A: Don’t think of dying unnecessarily. Who knows that your remorse and the hurt that you go through is so much loved by Allah Ta`ala that this may be more loved in His sight than a million lives.
Read the following seven times after every salaah: “Rabbi innee limaa anzalta ilayya min khayrin faqeer.”
And Allah Ta’ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
